You can't use Type-1 fonts with Inkscape. Inkscape uses Pango. Pango uses the cmap table of TrueType and OpenType. Type-1 fonts don't have a cmap table.
Is that just for the Windows version of Inkscape or Pango? I noticed in the release notes for Inkscape v0.45 that an option to embed fonts works for only Type 1 fonts and not for TrueType so it looks like Type 1 fonts are supposed to work in some context.
A bit off-topic, but I noticed that fonts with kerning information don't kern while the user manual indicates that kerning should happen automatically. I tested this with the same font in OpenOffice.org and the font definitely has kerning information, but Inkscape doesn't seem to be using it. Is this another Pango issue?
Thanks.
